TURBO: Utility-Aware Bandwidth Allocation for Cloud-Augmented Autonomous Control

Authors: Peter Schafhalter, Alexander Krentsel, Hongbo Wei, Joseph E. Gonzalez, Sylvia Ratnasamy, Scott Shenker, and Ion Stoica

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 139, 1st New Ideas in Networked Systems (NINeS 2026)

Abstract
Autonomous driving system progress has been driven by improvements in machine learning (ML) models, whose computational demands now exceed what edge devices alone can provide. The cloud offers abundant compute, but the network has long been treated as an unreliable bottleneck rather than a co-equal part of the autonomous vehicle control loop. We argue that this separation is no longer tenable: safety-critical autonomy requires co-design of control, models, and network resource allocation itself. We introduce TURBO, a cloud-augmented control framework that addresses this challenge, formulating bandwidth allocation and control pipeline configuration across both the car and cloud as a joint optimization problem. TURBO maximizes benefit to the car while guaranteeing safety in the face of highly variable network conditions. We implement TURBO and evaluate it in both simulation and real-world deployment, showing it can improve average accuracy by up to 15.6%pt over existing on-vehicle-only pipelines. Our code is made available at www.github.com/NetSys/turbo.

Taming and Dissecting Recursions Through Interprocedural Weak Topological Ordering

Authors: Jiawei Yang, Xiao Cheng, Bor-Yuh Evan Chang, Xiapu Luo, and Yulei Sui

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Abstract interpretation provides a foundational framework for approximating program semantics by interpreting code through abstract domains using semantic functions over ordered sets along a program’s control flow graph (CFG). To facilitate fixpoint computation in abstract interpretation, weak topological ordering (WTO) is an effective strategy for handling loops, as it identifies strategic control points in the CFG where widening and narrowing operations should be applied. However, existing abstract interpreters still face challenges when extending WTO computation in the presence of recursive programs. Computing a precise whole-program WTO requires full context-sensitive analysis which is not scalable for large programs, while context-insensitive analysis introduces spurious cycles that compromise precision. Current approaches either ignore recursion (resulting in unsoundness) or rely on conservative approximations, sacrificing precision by adopting the greatest elements of abstract domains and applying widening at function boundaries without subsequent narrowing refinements. These can lead to undesired results for downstream tasks, such as bug detection. To address the above limitations, we present RecTopo, a new technique to boost the efficiency of precise abstract interpretation in the presence of recursive programs through interprocedural weak topological ordering (IWTO). Rather than pursuing an expensive whole-program WTO analysis, RecTopo employs an on-demand approach that strategically decomposes programs at recursion boundaries and constructs targeted IWTOs for each recursive component. RecTopo dissects and analyzes (nested) recursions through interleaved widening and narrowing operations. This approach enables precise control over interpretation ordering within recursive structures while eliminating spurious recursions through systematic correlation of control flow and call graphs. We implemented RecTopo and evaluated its effectiveness using an assertion-based checking client focused on buffer overflow detection, comparing it against three popular open-source abstract interpreters (IKOS, Clam, CSA). The experiments on 8312 programs from the NIST dataset demonstrate that, on average, RecTopo is 31.99% more precise and achieves a 17.49% higher recall rate compared to three other tools. Moreover, RecTopo exhibits an average precision improvement of 46.51% and a higher recall rate of 32.98% compared to our baselines across ten large open-source projects. Further ablation studies reveal that IWTO reduces spurious widening operations compared to whole-program WTO, resulting in a 12.83% reduction in analysis time.

Quantum Communication Complexity of Classical Auctions

Authors: Aviad Rubinstein and Zixin Zhou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)

Abstract
We study the fundamental, classical mechanism design problem of single-buyer multi-item Bayesian revenue-maximizing auctions under the lens of communication complexity between the buyer and the seller. Specifically, we ask whether using quantum communication can be more efficient than classical communication. We have two sets of results, revealing a surprisingly rich landscape - which looks quite different from both quantum communication in non-strategic parties, and classical communication in mechanism design. We first study the expected communication complexity of approximately optimal auctions. We give quantum auction protocols for buyers with unit-demand or combinatorial valuations that obtain an arbitrarily good approximation of the optimal revenue while running in exponentially more efficient communication compared to classical approximately optimal auctions. However, these auctions come with the caveat that they may require the seller to charge exponentially large payments from a deviating buyer. We show that this caveat is necessary - we give an exponential lower bound on the product of the expected quantum communication and the maximum payment. We then study the worst-case communication complexity of exactly optimal auctions in an extremely simple setting: additive buyer’s valuations over two items. We show the following separations: - There exists a prior where the optimal classical auction protocol requires infinitely many bits, but a one-way message of 1 qubit and 2 classical bits suffices. - There exists a prior where no finite one-way quantum auction protocol can obtain the optimal revenue. However, there is a barely-interactive revenue-optimal quantum auction protocol with the following simple structure: the seller prepares a pair of qubits in the EPR state, sends one of them to the buyer, and then the buyer sends 1 qubit and 2 classical bits. - There exists a prior where no multi-round quantum auction protocol with a finite bound on communication complexity can obtain the optimal revenue.

Extracting Geospatial Information from Social Media Data for Hazard Mitigation, Typhoon Hato as Case Study (Short Paper)

Authors: Jibo Xie, Tengfei Yang, and Guoqing Li

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 114, 10th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2018)

Abstract
With social media widely used for interpersonal communication, it has served as one important channel for information creation and propagation especially during hazard events. Users of social media in hazard-affected area can capture and upload hazard information more timely by portable and internet-connected electric devices such as smart phones or tablet computers equipped with (Global Positioning System) GPS devices and cameras. The information from social media(e.g. Twitter, facebook, sina-weibo, WebChat, etc.) contains a lot of hazard related information including texts, pictures, and videos. Most important thing is that a fair proportion of these crowd-sourcing information is valuable for the geospatial analysis in Geographic information system (GIS) during the hazard mitigation process. The geospatial information (position of observer, hazard-affected region, status of damages, etc) can be acquired and extracted from social media data. And hazard related information could also be used as the GIS attributes. But social media data obtained from crowd-sourcing is quite complex and fragmented on format or semantics. In this paper, we introduced the method how to acquire and extract fine-grained hazard damage geospatial information. According to the need of hazard relief, we classified the extracted information into eleven hazard loss categories and we also analyzed the public's sentiment to the hazard. The 2017 typhoon "Hato" was selected as the case study to test the method introduced.
